Three Charged In 2014 Hartford Homicide

Three men were charged recently with a fatal shooting on Hartford's Bedford Street

HARTFORD — Three men have been charged in connection with a fatal shooting last October on Bedford Street, according to court records.

Kareem Mack, Traevaughn Morrison and Raymond DeJesus, all 19, were charged with felony murder and first-degree robbery, among other charges, the records say.

On Oct. 12, 2014, Rashad L. Ryans, 22, was found inside a vehicle in the area of 32-34 Bedford St. with a gunshot wound the head, according to arrest warrants. He was taken to St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

According to the warrant for Mack's arrest, the three men worked together to rob Ryans to pay a debt for a purchased sawed-off shotgun. Ryans was lured to be robbed but thought he was going to make a drug transaction, the warrant says.

DeJesus and Mack are being held on $1.5 million bond. DeJesus is scheduled to be in Superior Court on May 29 and Mack is scheduled to appear on June 1.
